  1. [R2] Fishing Points 5/5 · US It’s good: The weather and fish activity make it very easy to know when to go fishing and I don’t need to spend money unless I want premium and they are never reminding me to buy premium its a very good app In general too.
  2. [R5] Fishing Points 5/5 · US The best: This is the best app I’ve used and is really close to be 100 percent accurate
  3. [R20] Fishing Points 5/5 · US Best fishing app: Best fishing app all in one!
  4. [R61] Fishbox 1/5 · US It’s a scam: The app employs deceptive practices: after installing it, you have to complete a nonsensical 20-minute questionnaire, after which it demands a subscription. There is no way to skip this.
  5. [R8] Fishing Points 5/5 · US Great app: This is a great app for fishing and boating
  6. [R52] Fishing Points 5/5 · US Great If You Fish: I’ve used this App for several Years. It’s easy to use. I can mark a place where I’ve caught Fish and been able to go back to the same spot.
  7. [R60] Fishing Points 5/5 · US Best App out there: I use this app every day during the boating season and it’s pin point accurate. Can plan my fishing and leisure days well in advance.
  8. [R67] Fishbox 1/5 · US Bad: I tried signing in about 30 times it never let me sign in because apparently it couldn’t verify the verification code. I don’t know why it’s just stupid and I would not recommend buying this.
  9. [R40] Fishing Points 5/5 · US Best fishing app I use: This is my way to find fish. It’s very accurate and easy to use to fill my Simrad with the best spots. I find them with my phone and add to GPS if I catch fish.
  10. [R75] Fishbox 3/5 · US Tide chart: Your listed tide chart is inaccurate at best. I fish the shoreline more than any other kinds of fishing. I rely on accurate tide charts for my best efforts. The charts you supply are not reliable. Is there anything you can do to rectify it. Rhode Island is where I fish the most.
  11. [R11] Fishing Points 5/5 · US It’s great: Use for mainly logging all my catches. Just added fish identification which is cool, but it’s a pay feature to log the catch after using it.
  12. [R17] Fishing Points 5/5 · US My experience: I love the app but I think it’s a little high, there are plenty of free apps out there!
  13. [R6] Fishing Points 3/5 · US Can’t get the depths to work!: I purchased the premium and when I click on the nautical map to show depths in my lake it doesn’t work. Is this normal? Can you please help me with this! I like the app but the depths is crucial to me! Thanks.
  14. [R54] Fishing Points 5/5 · US Great app!: Love the the app so far has been very helpful and easy to use has helped in finding better fishing spots will continue to use when I’m on the water and off
  15. [R76] Fishbox 1/5 · US Still charging my card after canceling subscription: Very shady and do not pay for the subscription they will keep charging you
  16. [R82] Fishbox 1/5 · US Beware: I bought the service and then 2 later found that they don’t provide meaningful info for rivers, which I primarily fish. I sent an email cancelling well within 7 day free trial. Guess what they continue to charge $27.99. I’ve sent a copy of my dated email cancelling to the owner and he still owning that his company isn’t honoring their trial offer. So now Amex is involved. Beware! Don’t bel
